The house of Joseph strikes Bethel and lets go the man who showed the entrance

요셉 족속이 벧엘을 치고 성읍의 입구를 가르친 사람을 놓아 보냄

Judges 1:22–26: The house of Joseph also goes up against Bethel, and the LORD is with them. The house of Joseph sends to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.) The watchers see a man come out of the city, and they say to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.” He shows them the entrance into the city, and they strike the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go. The man goes into the land of the Hittites, builds a city, and calls its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
